The Whitman Encyclopedia of Obsolete Paper Money is a multiple-volume study of currency issued from 1782 to 1866, before the modern era of National Banks and the Federal Reserve. During this time period more than 3,000 state chartered banks issued their own paper money.  Author Q. David Bowers has compiled decades of research from 18th and 19th century bank reports, contemporary newspapers, and other primary sources.
